#9 How to Choose the Right Business Coach | Why Everyone Needs a Coach (and How to Avoid Wasting $30k on a Bad One)


Listen Later

Having a business coach — someone who offers expertise you don’t have and help you navigate challenges and goals — is crucial. Having a so-called ‘guru’? Not so much.

Throughout their careers as gym owners and tech leaders, Nick and Dan collectively have had 10 business coaches — and they know it’s impossible to see the ROI of a coach until you’ve worked with the right one.

In this week’s episode, they explore what makes a great mentor, the warning signs of bad advice, and how to find the right fit for your business needs. From student-coach ratios to gut instincts, they share actionable tips and personal insights to help you avoid costly mistakes and thrive under expert guidance.
